The marine transportation system contributes to U.S. economic growth, enhances global competitiveness, and supports national security objectives. The marine transportation industry, with its extensive network of waterways, terminals, and ports, plays a critical role in both domestic and international trade, provides enourmous travel and recreational opportunities, and employs hundreds of thousands of people in transportation services and related industries, such as shipbuilding and repair. Throughout our nation's history, the maritime industry has also played an important role in supporting national security objectives by maintaining an active core of U.S. flagged and crewed vessels for defense-related operations throughout the world.
